The steam locomotives WIEN-RAAB to NEUSIEDLER SEE were eight locomotives with a tender that were ordered by the Vienna-Raaber Bahn . Most of them have already been delivered to the Staats-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (StEG), which WRB took over in 1855. They were the first four-coupled locomotives (type D n2) in Austria-Hungary . These first heavy mountain railway locomotives in Europe were used on the Bruck an der Leitha - Győr - Ujszőny route, which actually ran in the flatlands.
The first locomotive, the WIEN-RAAB , was exhibited at the Paris World Exhibition and bought there by the French railway company MIDI , where it was given the number 301. In 1875 it was converted into a tank locomotive in the Bordeaux workshop , although it remained four-fold coupled, and was used in shunting until 1898 . It was then sold to the Carmaux mining company , which in 1903 gave it to the Périgord ironworks .
The remaining machines were named KOMORN , SZT. MIKLOS (later SCHWECHAT " ), U.-ALTENBURG , WIESELBURG , STUHLWEISSENBURG , VESZPRIM and NEUSIEDLER SEE and were already delivered to the StEG, which initially assigned them the numbers 441-447 (the number 440 reserved for the WIEN-RAAB was not occupied From 1873 they became StEG 1101–1107. The original SZT. MIKLOS was given the StEG designation 4001 in 1899 and was not retired until 1903.
